Comparison of p63 immunohistochemistry and shear wave elastography in the diagnosis of indeterminate breast lesions: A prospective study.

Purpose: To evaluate the accuracy of breast shear wave elastography (SWE) and p63 immunohistochemistry (IHC) in the diagnosis of indeterminate breast lesions.

Methods: Based on detailed clinical examination and a combination of X-ray mammography/B-mode ultrasound with SWE, a total of 40 patients with breast lumps (BI-RADS 4) were included. Patients with previous diagnosis of breast cancer and a previous history of surgery, chemotherapy, or radiotherapy in the same breast as the present lesion were excluded.

Infectious Keratitis: An Update on Role of Epigenetics.

Epigenetic mechanisms modulate gene expression and function without altering the base sequence of DNA. These reversible, heritable, and environment-influenced mechanisms generate various cell types during development and orchestrate the cellular responses to external stimuli by regulating the expression of genome. Also, the epigenetic modifications influence common pathological and physiological responses including inflammation, ischemia, neoplasia, aging and neurodegeneration etc.

Storage stability of value added products from sunflower kernels.

Shelf life of two products namely chikki and oilseed butter were evaluated. Sunflower was substituted for groundnut at three levels (0, 50 and 100 %). Products were stored up to 2 months in ambient conditions (25-30 °C; RH 40-60 %).

Displaced supracondylar humeral fractures in children: results of a national survey of paediatric orthopaedic consultants.

Several aspects of the management of displaced supracondylar fractures in children remain controversial. Displaced supracondylar humeral fractures (Type III) in children have traditionally been considered orthopaedic emergencies. Recent studies have suggested that closed Type III supracondylar fractures without vascular compromise may be treated in a delayed manner without compromise to functional and cosmetic outcome.
